Are we limited by our view of success?
Given that women are a vital part of our community on so many levels it got me thinking about the definition of success and how often we find ourselves bound by the very narrow paradigms of others' definitions of success.
Labor's Ten Minimum Standards
Federal Labor’s plan for a new industrial relations system includes a significant expansion in the number of minimum employment standards.

How many people does it take to change a light bulb
I was told about a recent article in the Weekend Australian Magazine. The article looked at a study by the University of Chicago. that found that if we excluded all animal based foods, including dairy and eggs, from our diet, that change would benefit the environment more than buying an eco-friendly car. Apparently 23% of a typical Australian diet comes from animal sources and so generates almost 1.5 tonnes more greenhouse gases per person per year than a vegan diet of the same calories.

Business credit remains tough in difficult times
There’s been a lot of talk about the impact of the global financial crisis on interest rates and access to finance. Whilst the banks maintain that they are providing finance, and certainly that appears to be the case with residential mortgages, the availability of finance to business remains an issue. It is finally receiving a greater level of attention in the mainstream press, with The Australian and Australian Finance Review both publishing articles on 27 March.

Hip Replacement Recall Attorney Says DuPuy Misled Patients
After receiving findings that its ASR hip implant was faulty, DuPuy Orhtopedics actually waited a year before sending out a warning on March 5, 2010 to American surgeons that its implant had a higher than expected failure rate. Worse yet, the warning letters were not sent to American surgeons until three months after DePuy voluntarily withdrew its hip implant from the Australian market in December 2009. DePuy continued to promote and sell its faulty hip implant in America for six months after the Australian withdrawal before finally recalling the ASR hip implant in the U.S. in August 2010.

Are you providing what people want or are you trying to provide what you think people need?
The Australian Government is currently and desperately trying to make law what they think people need in immigration, dealing with climate change, gambling, and in a host of other areas. They are failing miserably because they do not listen to what stakeholders actually want. I am staggered by the amount of business owners I meet who try and build a business around what they think people need, rather than providing what people want.
